An admission of guilt? or notice to the complainants to wind their necks in?

[dannyk13]

Admission of guilt is in the first paragraph.

[Zacs-Master]

I suppose you could spin it either (or both) ways. The fact that 'the settlement is believed to be an unprecedented case of a political party libelling a journalist and former employees' puts a magnifying glass to the sad state with the Labour party is in.

[Zacs-Master]

which not 'with'.

[woofgang]

It makes Keir Starmer an even more interesting choice.....his wife is Jewish and comes from a practicing Jewish family.

[woofgang]

I am going to suggest though that the substitution of "gentle" for "gentile" in this link was accidentally done a purpose.

[woofgang]

double PS whatever meejer says about his wife, she is NOT an Occupational Therapist and does not provide Occupational Therapy services or work in Occupational Therapy.

[youngmafbog]

The hard left are displeased though. Sir Kier still has a way to go.

[Mozz71]

Still ymf, he's making a start. That's more than Jezza ever did. I have hope.

[youngmafbog]

He is but the problem is the hard left Unions fund labour. He is between a rock and a hard place.

But credit where credit is due this is a good move.

[ToraToraTora]

yes YMB the unions fund the party, how chuffed will they be that labour just flushed 800 large down the Ille Nastase?

[Mozz71]

Wow. Tora made two whole posts without calling someone anti-British. Praise be.

[youngmafbog]

Why would he call someone anti British when no one has been on this thread? (yet).

[Mozz71]

Well, nobody being anti-British has never stopped him before. (Sorry, I was being facetious. Just ignore me)

[Jackdaw33]

Ile Nastase. I'm intrigued. I know what you mean but I just can't make the rhyming connection.

[Jackdaw33]

Just got it. Khazi?

[Peter Pedant]

I did wonder how an organisation can decide to defend ( apend spend spend - lawyers rub hands ) and then the next one says give up ( settle settle settle)
and the facts havent changed
so it is double the money

talk about spending other peoples money

[Hymie]

Didn’t the Labour Party ennoble that woman (Chakrabarti) after she investigated and cleared the Labour Party of any anti-semitisum?

[Jackdaw33]

Indeed they did. Old pals act.

[ToraToraTora]

hymie: "Didn’t the Labour Party ennoble that woman (Chakrabarti) after she investigated and cleared the Labour Party of any anti-semitisum?" - declaring the Labour party clear of anti-Semitism is a bit like clearing bears from defecating in the woods.
